With a little one on the way, we just couldn't find a changing table that fit our space and wasn't too expensive. So, thanks to Ana's plans, I was able to put together a smaller changing table with a slide out shelf. In the future, I'd do a better job of measuring out the height of the middle sliding shelf...anyone over 5'5" will have to bend way over to slide it in/out. I switching the 1x4s from the top to the middle shelf and made sure to measure my changing pad before starting (after reading the comments on Ana's original design). My local lumber store cut my 3/4" ply to size for free, so if you can go in with dimensions already planned out, it'll save tons of time and headache driving with 4'x6' ply floppin' around.
I built this for a friend's daughter who collects the Tractor Supply farm animals. This is the first time I have cut on angles to make the roof. The directions say built it from bottom to top but I found it easier to start for the top and work down. Then attach the whole roof where it marched on the barn... Hope this helps. I did not finish it cause the friend wanted to stain it herself...
I stumbled across Ana White one day 3 years ago when I was 18 and about to go off to college. My parents weren't home for the weekend, I was bored, and decided a twin bed at my rental just wasn't going to cut it but I was an 18 year old who had champagne taste on a beer budget. I had been helping my dad ever since I was little with wood work all around the house but furniture was something we had never tackled and the idea of building a bed was a little daunting. However, these plans were super easy to follow and I must say, the finished product is absolutely beautiful. After 3 years and many more projects, this bed is still my favorite.
Needless to say my mom asked me for a few years to bring it back to go in my old bedroom at their house - so now I get to build another one!
This was my first build and experience with power tools. The size of the workbench table is absolutely the perfect length and height. I ended up adding wheels that lock in place. I’m hooked! Thank you Ana White for providing the plans for a workbench.

This project is perfect for the beginner. The plans are very simple to follow especially for one that’s never picked up a power tool. I am absolutely hooked.
Here are a couple my Grandson and I built with pressure treated lumber with PVC handles and Azek seats. Grand kids love them!

These look amazing, thank you for sharing! I'm sure hours of fun are happening here.:)
Console table with straight stair legs
Your plans are awesome!! Your YouTube videos rock!
Made this for my daughters new house! Love how it turned out!!

This stool is a gift for my nephew's 4th birthday!! The hardest thing about this stool is trying to get all the legs put together without having enough room to get the drill at the right angle. This time, we used an extender piece on the drill bit (duh!) and it was MUCH easier than the other stools we have built.
I used a projector to put the trace the Superman symbol, then painted it.
I hope he likes it!!!
After I found these awesome walnut chairs on craigslist, I did by best to match the stain and build a kitchen table on the cheap for our new house. As you can see, I modified the design into a square to fit the space. I also attempted to create a unique design by making diagonal cuts with the miter saw and connecting everything in the underbelly with my Kreg Jig. My one regret is that after my palm sander broke, instead of buying a replacement, I got a little hyperactive with my belt sander. It ended up making a unique swirl design over the grain. A part of me thinks it looks cool and the other part thinks it looks ridiculous. The moral of the story is never use a belt sander on something you intend to stain.

I've accidentally done the same thing with the sander on pieces of my furniture too. I don't think yours looks ridiculous at all- it is a really beautiful table!!
We LOVE our new patio set! Total cost of 2 sofas, coffee table and cushions: $530
Cushions B&G Retro Diamonds Deep Seat cushion set purchased from Walmart.
Thanks for sharing the plans!
This is inspired by mud room bench with drawer. Apparently I had to make quite some modifications as this is for a bay window bench with trapezoid shape instead of a rectangular. In the middle are 2 drawers, at both ends are corner cabinets. Ana's design worked beautifully as the foundation of my project.
I built a storage table and stools for my son's school class project and my wife wanted a set for her mom to give to her on Mother's Day.
This was a really easy and inexpensive project. As I don't have a table saw and I'm scared to death of my circular saw, I had the laminated MDF cut to size and edged. Assembly and painting was really quick. This little man will road test it for me!
My husband bulky this coop from pallets and used Ana White's chicken run plans. Took us a weekend to build the run.
Built mainly from the Modern Media Console plan, modified in a few ways. Aside from the obvious part being the walnut slab on top, I modified the doors to be inset hinges for looks, and it’s slightly longer than the original plans. The other main modification was using the base from the Emersen Console or Buffet plan with the addition of the adjustable height leveling legs.
I am a mathematics teacher in Central IL. I teach a class called Geometry in Construction. I had my math students build this wood shed in pieces at the school, then I brought it home and put it together with a few of my son's friends. The students enjoy a math class that gets to go to the wood shop to apply their math skills to a wood working project. I am proud of my students hard work and dedication.

Easy to build! Took about 3 hours!

This is fantastic, just what I need to build. Would you mind sharing some measurements such as height, width and depth.

I think all the dimensions were in the pattern.

oops thanks I feel a bit embarrassed. Going to the plan now, thanks for sharing your awesome build
Our 2 year old granddaughter loves seesaws, so my husband built this one for her. We had just been to Disney World and decided to make the seat Mickey shaped for a little extra fun. He used his bandsaw to cut the seat.
The seesaw is plenty stable enough for us to go on it with her and has been a BIG hit with the neighborhood kids.

Thank you, Ana, for these plans!
Started this project out of boredom. I had some time and some extra wood laying around. Some was from pallets I took apart, some from a salvage house, and some from an old barn. I built the table in a few hours and worked through any misshaped boards as best as possible. It was a relativley easy project and fun to see the legs turn out with each step. I plan to use cables and turnbuckles for the cross braces on the back and will update the pic when I do. I just need to find a home for it now.
